#460 of 474 Jump starting my dead battery sounds off the alarm by edinnpbfl Mar 25, 2009 (11:21 am)
My 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder has been sitting idle for almost two years. When I went to jump the battery, every time I connected the jumper cables the horn starts honking. From what I have read, I think it was the alarm sounding because the dead battery must have reset the alarm. So now I need to figure a way to turn off the alarm and jump start the car without sending all my condo neighbors into a tizzy. I tried to pull the horn fuse according to the manual, but that didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? I can find no reference to the alarm in the manual.

#463 of 474 02 Eclipse GT Coupe 2dr car buying help! by girishbala Jun 03, 2009 (8:51 pm)
Hi,   I am complete noob when it comes to cars. I need your help in making a decision. I am a student looking for a car on a budget. I saw a 02 Eclipse GT Coupe 2dr with 107k miles for $4750. I am not sure if this is a good buy. My concern is I want a reliable car where I spend $$ only for regular maintenance(I had a Mazda protege before and I took good care of it). I would like to use this car mainly for commute to work which is about 42miles each way and hopefully use for another 2 years before I get a new car. My biggest question: is 107k miles a lot for an 02 eclipse and how many more miles can you expect for it to run with my usage? And typically how many miles do they run for before you get major issues with the car.   I would appreciate your help and insight on this issue. Please feel free to mention any other issues that I need to be wary of before I make a purchase.   Thanks for your help! G
#464 of 474 93 Eclipse front fog light replacement by sammys Jun 09, 2009 (4:14 am)
How do you get at to replace the 35W front fog light/lamp bulb on the 1993 Eclipse. The outside front of the lense has 3 Phillips head screws, two on one side and one on the other side. They are very difficult to try and remove and I worry I will strip the soft metal of the screw heads. I wanted to try from underneath or inside the engine compartment but there doesn't seem to be any access to the bulb. Also, anyone have a bulb number that I can look for?   Thanks! Walt

Replying to: markrts (Jul 08, 2009 1:36 pm) Not sure if its related but in my 2005 Eclipse, the display went blank (radio still worked) when the cigarette lighter fuse was blown. Check you fuses.
#468 of 474 Re: Wet Floor Boards [1sttigerlady] by vabound Jul 08, 2009 (5:59 pm)
Replying to: 1sttigerlady (Feb 18, 2008 3:57 am) I have a 2002 Spyder. We first had a small leak on the passenger side after it would rain and it would run down the door and into the speakers. About a year ago, my daughter locked the keys in the car and called the insurance company who sent out Pop a Lock to open the car. Since that time the car leaks like a seive. After heavy rainstorms she has found as much as a half inch of standing water in the floorboards as well as all the upholstery is wet. It has shorted out the electrical system which we had replaced last week. We were told that perhaps the drainage system (?) was blocked but it was recommended that we replace the convertible top as all the stitching has worn away in the hot south FL sun. Does anyone have any other suggestions or know how to unblock this supposed drainage system? We have no idea if the pressure from the Pop a Lock experience might have caused the worsening of the problem or not but this whole idea of the car leaking at the seams has me freaked. This car only has 50,000 miles on it and is being driven by a college student.
